As the night deepened, even the moon was obscured by layers of clouds, leaving only a faint outline visible.
Strangely, Gu Hanyin and the others did not see Qiao Suinian again along the way, as if Qiao Suinian had disappeared.
They were on guard the whole way, but they couldn't see a trace of Qiao Suinian at all.
For Gu Hanyin and the others, this feeling was like you'd abstained from sex for a month to meet your girlfriend in another city, only to have her say she was on her period the day before the meeting—it was just as unacceptable.
"Could that guy have already escaped?" Gu Hanyin frowned.
Soon, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Looking at the rising sun, Gu Hanyin and the others, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't help but feel exhausted. However, they still dared not let their guard down.
Meanwhile, Qiao Suinian slowly stretched and woke up from her sleep.
"That was a really good night's sleep! Those idiots are probably still on guard against my sneak attack. It's already dawn, time to prepare breakfast for them!"
A slight smile appeared on Qiao Suinian's lips.
There are no days when you can guard against thieves, only days when you're a thief yourself.
He wanted to see how long Gu Hanyin and her group could hold out against him if things dragged on like this!
......
"Brother Hanyin, I can barely keep my eyes open..." Xiang Yixue had two huge dark circles under her eyes, as if her yang energy had been sucked out.
Gu Hanyin was also feeling the strain, her stomach churning.
Anyone who has stayed up all night knows that after a whole night without sleep, you first feel excited the next morning, followed by an indescribable sense of disorientation. You are still awake, but everything you do feels like a dream, and everything in the world feels unreal.
After awakening their combat professions, Gu Hanyin and the others became much stronger, but they still couldn't overcome the fact that carbon-based life forms need to sleep to recover their energy.
"Rest here. I'll send out undead creatures to keep watch around. I'll notify you if there's any disturbance!"
As soon as Gu Hanyin finished speaking, Xiang Yixue collapsed to the ground with a thud and fell asleep immediately, clearly exhausted.
Lin Zimo and Ji Gang found a tree to lean against and rest, while the withered Jing Su was placed in the middle.
Gu Hanyin frowned slightly, then waved his staff and began to chant strangely.
As he chanted, four armored skeleton warriors crawled out of the soil, each guarding one of the four directions.
Gu Hanyin breathed a sigh of relief. With the four skeleton warriors on guard, he was confident that Qiao Suinian would have no chance of approaching them silently.
He then leaned against the tree and closed his heavy eyelids.
He had just started to feel sleepy when a furious curse suddenly rang out from nearby.
"You can sleep? At your age, you can't sleep? Have you no self-respect?!"
Even if he were reduced to ashes, Gu Hanyin would never forget that voice; it was clearly the voice of Qiao Suinian!
"Watch out! That guy's here!" Gu Hanyin shouted, waking up Xiang Yixue and the others.
After getting up from the ground, Xiang Yixue quickly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and golden light flashed in her palm, clearly indicating that she was ready for battle.
Lin Zimo also drew his bow and arrow, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
However, the four of them stood in the same spot for a long time like terracotta warriors, but Qiao Suinian did not appear.
"Brother Hanyin, where is he?" Xiang Yixue was fast asleep and didn't hear Qiao Suinian's voice at all.
She felt even worse than before she fell asleep. The feeling of being woken up right after falling asleep was like being in a room admiring a work by Mikami-sensei, striving to reach the summit, when suddenly someone pushes open the door and walks in.
This feeling of being stuck in the middle is the most agonizing.
"If you've got the guts, then get out here! Are you just going to hide like a rat in the sewers?"
Gu Hanyin's voice echoed around him, but all was silent, and no one paid any attention to him.
Gu Hanyin's face turned extremely ugly; he had clearly underestimated the shamelessness of his opponent.
"Go to sleep! Ignore him, he's just a despicable scoundrel!"
Gu Hanyin's chest heaved continuously; this feeling of having no outlet for his strength made him extremely uncomfortable.
He firmly believed that as long as Qiao Suinian dared to come out and confront them head-on, Qiao Suinian would definitely be no match for them.
But Qiao Suinian was like a venomous snake, hiding in the shadows and scaring them every now and then, but never showing his face.
However, just as Gu Hanyin and the others fell asleep again, Qiao Suinian's voice rang out once more.
"Who told you to sleep? Get up and play, all of you!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a Destruction Knight clad in black armor charged toward them on his warhorse.
The clattering of hooves kicked up dust, waking Gu Hanyin and the others once again.
Gu Hanyin opened her eyes, her eyes bloodshot, half from sleepiness and half from anger at Qiao Suinian.
This thing is like a toad crawling on your foot; it doesn't bite, it's just disgusting!
"Necromancer Exorcism!"
Gu Hanyin raised her staff, and a gray vortex appeared beneath the feet of the Destruction Knight. As the vortex spun, the Destruction Knight was swallowed up and disappeared.
"You scoundrel! If you've got the guts, get out here!" This was the first time in Gu Hanyin's life that she harbored such deep resentment towards someone.
Qiao Suinian was more detestable to him than the mosquitoes buzzing around his ears on summer nights.
